ICPE permitting

Facilities that are likely to generate hazards or harm to public health and/or the environment are regulated under the “classified facilities for protection of the environment” legislation (ICPE: installations classées pour la protection de l’environnement).

The management of a site that is subject to ICPE regulations involves a proactive regulatory watch on relevant topics and having solutions available for managing environmental and health risks.

Depending on the significance of the risks or hazards, a facility will be regulated under a particular nomenclature or ranking and is therefore obliged to follow a

Declaration procedure (D or DC if the facility is subject to periodic inspection by a certified organisation)
